How does your Opera look?

Here is a screenshot (600x800) of my Opera

My opera looks like this. Using the Ibis inspire Transparent skin.



As you can see I try to keep it as clean as possible.

How come I have streaks in the speeddial image no matter what skin I have selected? Using 11.51 at the moment.

It doesn't have a name, unfortunately!

I just took the Opera Standard skin and changed a few things I didn't like the look of. p



I know you made it by yourself, but please, could you give us this beautiful skin?



You must give us that skin smile

Those look like the standard streaks in Windows Aero. They appear on the titlebar for all windows and also on the rest of the window for transparent windows.

Minimalism.
I don't have tabs anymore. I only use windows now. My window manager (i3) can display windows as tabs. It's way more efficient. To type an url i use F2 and it's ok.

Opera 12 has allowed me to use both a skin and a theme (undocumented). I used Z-1 Glass skin and a theme of mine MyWood.

Wow... I've seen some customizations and noticed...
Opera can be anything!

Look at other browsers' customizations... They can change the symbols of the buttons and colors but they're mostly the same, if you see a customized Chrome you can tell "this is Chrome!", or Fx "this is Firefox", but when it comes to Opera remove the "O" icon from the screen and it can keep an unadvised web citizen guessing.

This is the current look of my Opera. The skin is a modified Z1-Ultra with some custom made discrete speed dials. I will add a few more of them, but I'll keep them few and on one line.

I like things to be compact so I can view more of the website:

I'm also a fan of compact UI:


Had to downgrade to 11.6 in order to have the menu button and everything else in the same row, without the tab bar. I use a drop-down tab list button, the last one before the "minimize tab" button. The window title-bar and tab bar at the same time thing is nice overall, but on my desktop environment the title bar is more than a big handler so prefer it that way. I could toggle it off via OS or F11 anyways, but that's compact enough already for me.

The buttons are in order:

main menu
toggle panels (I know there's that side toggle thing but I always forget it's there and sometimes click on it accidentally)
back/forth
stop all
reload/stop
view modes
toggle images
fit to window
"view" toolbar toggle
links
tab list/closed tab list

Here is another fan of minimalism smile


Skin/Theme combination allow me to keep Aero on and and at the same time everything readable without ugly blurring effects or transparancy.
Tabs have a fixed size of 18x18 (16 px for the favicons) to allow lots of opened tabs at the same time.
I moved the addressfield to the pagebar and made it transparent, so that die UI still keeps a dark tone, not distracting too much from the actual site content.
The scroll bars where decreased in size. They are still easy to hit with the mouse, but I usually use mouse-wheel/gestures to navigate up and down a page.
The amount of buttons is minimal since i have everything important as a mouse gesture and/or hotkey.
Some often visited bookmarks are present as own buttons in the start-bar (opens only when adressfield is focused), together with some rarely needed functions as buttons, like split-page or calculator and all extension buttons.

The back, forward and search buttons should not be so close to the window buttons. It's easy to press the windows buttons by mistake.

One of the few that makes sense.
I can't believe all the ones that eat up valuable vertical space with numerous 'tool bars' etc and silly icons. rolleyes

Nevermind, I found it. It's called "Shelf", but my speeddials do not line up correctly with the shelves. Is there a tweak?

I guess it all depends on the number of Speed Dials and the zoom of the Speed Dial page (check the zoom slider bottom right in Opera).

It's from the "Opera Stratiform Mod 11.60" skin. And then you select that part, go Appearance > Style > Images only.
